It was a huge start to the season, thanks to a lead-in from the most-watched broadcast in television history, Super Bowl XLVI. Compared to the 2011 series debut, NBC and The Voice were up by 220% in the demo and 219% in total viewers. The execs over at the peacock network are no doubt ecstatic with these numbers.

Reference point: The 2010-11 season of The Voice averaged a 4.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 11.51 million viewers.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
